What kind of performance testing did you do for this patch?

> What kind of performance testing did you do for this patch?
I did some test with the attached page (place it into PerformanceTests/parser), but I didn't get 100% reproducible results.
After the patch setAttribute of input element (seams to be the slowest) is sometimes about 1% slower or a little bit faster than the original version.
I also tried a version where I pass the old value as const AtomicString& instead of the AttributeChangedType, but it shows very similar results.
Can you try this patch on your machine too to verify this?

Patch

I've done the performance testing as requested on IRC:

I'v run the dromaeo DOM and jslib test 3 times _without_ the patch:
http://dromaeo.com/?id=132284
http://dromaeo.com/?id=132285
http://dromaeo.com/?id=132287

The same test 3 times _with_ the patch:
http://dromaeo.com/?id=132316
http://dromaeo.com/?id=132318
http://dromaeo.com/?id=132324

Peacekeeper test _without_ the patch:
http://clients.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=5NoO (=4911)
http://clients.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=5Nof (=4891)
http://clients.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=5Nos (=4999)

Peacekeeper test _with_ the patch:
http://clients.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=5NqO (5009)
http://clients.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=5NqU (4989)
http://clients.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=5Nqc (4911)

I don't see a real difference.

cq-, because of a typo, thx to thakis

I really don't like this approach.  It's not clear to me why this needs to be baked in at a low level.  Can't individual attributes just query for equivalence if they care?

[Dave Hyatt]

I think a better approach would be to not send a change notification at all when the value is the same, and just special case the small # of attributes that do care about receiving a change (basically URL attributes).

It seems strange that Element has this knowledge.

Giving r=me, but avoid duplicating that code.

Pull this into a little static helper please to avoid duplication.
